    Tuning help with new carb on strong 408

    Hi All, Have always been happy with my Holley 750 HP, except when starting cold. There is no choke and would take about 4 to 5 times of starting to keep running, then good. I purchased a new Quickfuel 850 with mechanical secondaries and electric choke. Throttle response is markedly...

    Fuel system loosing pressure....Pump??

    I have an Edelbrock 1792 electric pump. The Dart has about 1500 miles on it. I had set the pressure on the regulator to 6.5 psi. Yesterday on the way home, it kept going down.......down to 3.5 psi by the time I got home. Pump did not sound the same, like it was not under a load. Sound like...

    Fuel gage off with fuel cell

    I have a 71 Dart with the factory gage. Currently running a 12 gallon Jaz cell with their 70-10 ohm sender, 70 empty and 10 full. If I fill the cell to within 1" of the top, the gage will indicate about 3/4 full. After using only about 4 gallons the gage is on E. It sounds like I have too...

    another question.....correct Power Valve??

    I have been tuning a little at time in the past few months. I had left the Power Valve alone, but realized I was pretty far off. Original PV in the Holley 750 HP was 6.5, but after checking the vacuum at idle in gear it was hovering around 5 inches (does this seem too low??). I went to a 3.5...

    Just thought I would through this out if anyone is looking for a cool simple way to eliminate the fuel cap when running a cell in the trunk and not have the filler in the original position. The simple drawing is below the picture and you should be able to print it by right clicking on the...
